For every poor and sorry soul
A spirit soars and sighs
For every sea whose shore unfolds
A new horizon dies

And as the mountains spew their flames
And as the fountains sparkle dew
Our rising breaths are just the same
As torrents ripping through

Here comes the shadow, traced in light
And lost in lover’s scorn
There goes the times that never, might, and ever be reborn

So short this life and long the days
Where madness sings to saner ways
And sadness brings the gladdest gaze
The eyes will never see

So on and gone and shone anon along the winding way
To bay the moons of summer noons
To sway that starlight day
